The 889 high-top basketball shoe is for players seeking the ultimate in ankle support and stability. ABZORB® EX technology provides superior shock absorption and cushioning to help you play your best.

Abzorb® EX is a combination of New Balance's premium Abzorb® foam and a peripheral pocket of non-pressurized air encapsulated in an engineered thermoplastic.

Abzorb® EX is designed to provide cushioning, stability, and durability. Abzorb® EX is engineered to provide specific cushioning for both the "lateral" (outside edge) and "medial" (inside edge) of a shoe. The lateral Abzorb® EX is engineered to provide maximum shock absorption. The medial Abzorb® EX is engineered slightly firmer to decrease the rate of pronation and provide stability.

Abzorb® EX is adjusted for each shoe to satisfy biomechanical and sport-specific requirements.

Abzorb® EX is typically positioned in the heel.

• Abzorb® EX heel provides durable cushioning and shock absorption

• Abzorb® cushioning in the forefoot for exceptional shock absorption
